Does anybody have a rough idea of how much time would this involve?

This could also help solving a current issue: now using on a server
projects done with a different version of QGIS desktop is always a risk,
thus forcing people to keep older versions on the desktop, or do
relatively risky upgrades on the server. It  would be good to decouple
this using standard API and a predictable behaviour.
I also underline, however, the importance of releasing a fully
functional server in sync with QGIS 3.
All the best.
